Flat in Madrid, Spain

We are a Spanish-German family with two children (17 and 20 years old). Our flat is situated in the district “Moratalaz” not far away from the center of Madrid (only 3 tube stations away from the Retiropark). The metro is 50 meters away from the flat and several busstations are close by (one bus of them is directly to the centre “Sol”). The market is just around the corner and all stores are within 5 minutes walking distance.

Madrid has a lot of cultural offers: Famous museums like El Prado, Reina Sofía and Thyssen. For children and young people there is the entertainment park “Parque de Atracciones”, “Faunia” (only 3 tube stations away from our flat) and in the summer there are the “Aquaparks”. Of course there are also a lot of bars and restaurants – often with terrace – where you can taste all kind of Spanish or international food.
With public transport you can get everywhere easily. That´s one of the reasons we haven´t got a car.
If you want to go for a drive to the mountains you can take the suburban train or go by bus and you´ll be there within an hour. There you can choose from a lot of trails.
Interesting places nearby Madrid are: El Escorial, Toledo, Segovia, Ávila, Alcalá de Henares and a lot of little villages worth seeing.
